Guest richard_s Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Had my motorcycle theory and hazard perception tests yeas which I passed with no problems now for my CBT and my Direct Access test.
mattx Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 How many tests are there these days ? I only did two.
mac_shinobi Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 what bike you got or are you going to get ?
Guest richard_s Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 How many tests are there these days ? I only did two. There are two parts to the theory then the CBT and then the Direct Access which is in 2 parts. Bikewise I've got a 2003 Honda Hornet 600cc which comes back from its service this weekend

They certainly make it as difficult as possible don't they ? Must cost a few bob too I bet.
Guest richard_s Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Bleeding hell - all that these days to get a bike licence ? They certainly make it as difficult as possible don't they ? Must cost a few bob too I bet. £680 for the full course including tests including bike hire and insurance
Dins Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 yeah the 2 tests are a pain in the arse, main thing is dont panic about the swerve! I passed at the beginning of last august on a 125cc bike (was 20 at the time and was too impatient to wait until tuesday just gone to do my non-restricted test) and the swerve is easy. You dont need to do any kind of scandanavian flick to get through it at all like a lot of people seem to think, its quite a gentle swerve. Main thing is, DONT BRAKE EARLY! you need to go through the speed gate at 32mph(i think?) and then round the swerve.. i know a few people braked just before the speed gate to do the swerve earlier but wernt doing the required speed anyway. @ Mattx, Modular One, which is bike manouvering is about £10-20ish, Mod2, which is on the road, is £70-90. Plus theory fee of about £35. It isnt cheap, thats for sure.
mattx Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 I can't remember how much I paid for mine - all I did was drive in a tennis court for 10 mins, which was the first part, then the second part was a test with an instructor which lasted about 30 mins.

Its a bit more involved than that now Well worth it though, im even looking to do my test again in summer to get an unrestricted license sooner than Aug2011
